The study of the movement of the human body is applicable to many current fields of
science and technology, such as biomechanical study in sporting areas, the study of
functional disabilities, the integration of people in virtual worlds, human interaction with
computers and the ability to recognise people in scenes.
This article presents a system to analyse and synthesise human movement by means of
computer vision techniques using a model of a person based on the standard humanoid HAnim.
The main aim of the system is to carry out a correspondence between this graphic
model and the person in movement in real images. The process is intended to be noninvasive
and automatic although it is currently used with the manual intervention of the
user. The final result will enable us to integrate the synthetic model and its movement with
the real person in a real or virtual world adaptable to different applications.
